MORNING HYMN - WIND OF GOD

On Sunday our preacher was Miss Wendy Ross-Barker. She has written the following hymn which I thought worthy of sharing with you.

Wind of God, blow strongly,

Break the walls of hate;

Sweep away divisions;

Open wide love's gate.

Heal and cleanse and strengthen

Hearts that still are cold

And, in every language,
Let your truth be told.

Harmonising Spirit,

Spread your flame of peace -

Burning brighter, stronger,

Light of love increase.

Fill with warmth and brightness

Every darkened place.

Let your joy and radiance

Shine on every face.

Gentle, dove-like Spririt,

Soothing frightened hearts,

Strenghen and encourage

Till all fear departs.

Then strong cries for justice

Will at last be heard;

Ears, long closed, will listen,

By these voices stirred.

Come then, lively Spririt,

Fill this world of pain.

End the reign of violence,

Set us free again .....

Free from all oppression,

Let the fighting cease;

Enmity behind us,

Build your world of peace.

(Tune Ruth)
